Chapter 5: Got It Right
"Grandpa!?" Rebecca looked surprised, "Why did you appear in Japan?"
"Arthur?! You are Arthur, right?" Shuangliu also looked surprised, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Well, long time no see, Sugoroku-san." Compared to Rebecca, who has a delicate and arrogant personality, her grandfather, Professor Hopkins, has nothing like her personality at all. He is quite gentle and elegant. "I This savage little granddaughter must have caused you a lot of trouble, I’m really sorry.”
"grandfather!"
With a smile on his face, Professor Hopkins walked to Yugi before he could leave the duel stage, and asked lovingly: "Yugi-san, can you let me see your deck?"
"Yeah, no problem." Yugi turned sideways slightly, revealing the deck of cards he hadn't had time to sort out on the duel stage. Professor Hopkins nodded his thanks and did not pick up the entire deck of cards, but just turned over the top one.
That's the card that Yugi just drew and put back into the deck.
"Sure enough, it's the same as that time." Professor Hopkins showed the card to Rebecca.
After Rebecca saw the card clearly, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression on her face: "How could it be, [Soul Liberation]?! A magic card that can remove monsters in the graveyard. If activated, my [Shadow Ghoul] Isn’t it going to be defeated by the [Black Magician]!”
"Years ago, the duel between me and Sugoroku-san was exactly the same as the duel between you two. Even this card is the same." Hopkins looked at the card in his hand with nostalgia, "I tried my best to The purpose of piling up the number of monsters in the graveyard is to win. However, Sugoroku-chan made the same choice as in the game at that time - to admit defeat."
"Well, we dueled before that duel, and the last sip of water in the kettle was given to the winner. But Hopkins was already dying at that time," Mr. Shuangliu said with some embarrassment, "It was just a duel. It’s just victory or defeat, nothing compared to the safety of a good friend.”
"The most important thing is not the duel, but life."
So both of you are in bad health, how can you still play cards? Hayato complained in his mind.
"Rebecca, grandpa, I was actually just like you at the time. I was fascinated by the victory and defeat. In order to strengthen [Shadow Ghoul], I kept sending monsters to the graveyard. However, we must also treat the sacrificed monsters. Paying respect, whether it's dueling monsters or archeology digging into the tombs of the dead."
Squatting down, Professor Arthur Hopkins gently rubbed Rebecca's head and looked at his granddaughter who still had some reluctance on her face: "Be full of respect for your opponent in the duel. This is why I With this mentality, I gave [Blue Eyes White Dragon] to Sugoroku-san who taught me this truth."
Now, with direct proof from the two parties involved, the misunderstanding was finally resolved. Rebecca, who knew that she had been messing around all this time, couldn't help but blush with embarrassment and hesitated to face the game.
"It's a bit hard to say, Arthur." Shuangliu walked up to his old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years with an apologetic expression, "I failed to keep the precious [Blue Eyes White Dragon] you entrusted to me. "
"Well, it's okay, Shuangroku-san." Arthur smiled gently, not caring about the torn [Blue Eyes White Dragon] in Shuangroku's hand. "The most important thing is not the card, but us who are entrusted in the card. It’s a friendship, isn’t it?”
"That's right, hahahaha."
Two old men over sixty years old met and smiled. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, their friendship remained the same as it had been many years ago. On the contrary, it became stronger because of their reunion after a long separation.
Hayato also took the opportunity to come behind Yugi and watched him sort out his cards.
Watching Yugi put [Thunder Break], [Holy Shield-Reflector Power] and several other red and green cards that were not good at first sight back into the deck, Hayato looked at them and hid behind Arthur to peek. Rebecca glanced at the game and thought:
‘Have you seen the little girl across from you, actually learned to let off steam and hide her deceitful nature? Game, you are so gentle’
"Listen up, Rebecca." Arthur noticed that his granddaughter hiding behind him had been watching the game. Sensing her thoughts, Arthur showed a rare sly smile and said to his granddaughter, "The card represents Keep in mind that a wonderful duel can lead to a friendship."
"If you don't understand this, it's not enough to become a competent United States Champion. Go apologize to the game."
Rebecca didn't notice her grandfather's strange smile, but was actually moved, and approached Yugi hesitantly: "Yimu, I..."
"It's okay, Rebecca-chan." Yugi smiled softly.
Looking at the two people looking at each other, Hayato couldn't help but cast his eyes on Kyoko, who looked moved, and wanted to see if a magical green light appeared on her head. By the way, he also heard two old people with the "cutest height difference" whispering together:
"Yi Yu is such a good boy."
"Isn't Rebecca pretty good too."
"It seems we both think the same thing?"
"The children are quite happy too, aren't they?"
"In a few years, we'll get down to business?"
"Totally OK."
In a few words, the two old men sold their grandchildren.
However, looking at the smile on Rebecca's face, I'm afraid she won't have any complaints and is actually quite happy. As for age, it doesn't matter. Although Yu Yu is only 17 years old this year and Rebecca is 12 years old, in Japan, as long as the man is 18 years old and the woman is 16 years old, marriage can be registered. As for informal folk weddings, there is no age limit.
The only magical thing is that the legal age of majority in Japan is 20 years old.
Professor Arthur Hopkins, who reunited with his old friend after a long separation, was intrigued by the duel between the game and Rebecca. He wanted to play Duel Monsters with Mr. Sugoroku to relive his youth and experience it. Currently only in Japan. Mr. Shuangliu naturally did not refuse the virtual projection system installed in the territory.
Of course, the virtual projection system used by Haima Paradise is different from the one installed on the top duel stage of Haima Group. It has the function of adjusting the virtual projection level.
Apparently, Kaiba still remembered the last time he dragged Mr. Sugoroku into a duel, which resulted in the old man having a heart attack. If there was no function to adjust the projection level, Haima Group would have been dragged down by various lawsuits before Haima Paradise could be promoted nationwide.
Seeing the two old men standing on the duel stage, Hayato suddenly heard a voice coming from behind:
"Hayato-nii, help me!"
